Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preparing xylitol by using a xylose secondary mother liquor through fermentation. In the method, fermentation treatment is performed on a mixed liquid of the xylose secondary mother liquor and a xylose concentrate, and the xylose secondary mother liquor is subsequently batch-fed instead of glucose in the fermentation process.

In this way, the use amount of glucose and costs are reduced, and the system xylose can be relatively stabilized, thus improving the entire conversion rate. In the present invention, adding the xylose secondary mother liquor by mixed fermentation and batch feeding and the like enables the contents of heterosaccharides such as arabinose and mannose in the fermentation system to be always within a range of metabolization by fermenting strains, facilitating subsequent purification and improving the xylitol purity.
